OT: Music - Songs about Mental Health

[Ozimoto]

No song thread about mental health would be complete without a little Warren Zevon.

I think this singer is fairly outspoken about mental health issues and I think this song is somewhat related.

[Ewekon]

Johnny Cash.
Hurt.

NIN's wasn't half bad either

[Puppy Love]

This evening, I thought about a brilliant friend I knew in middle school. I moved to another state just before high school, and I later learned that he tragically took his life when he was in college. I am posting 2 songs with anti-suicide lyrics.
